More quotes by Simon Cowell
I don't have sophisticated tastes. I have average tastes. If you looked in my collection of DVDs, you'd see 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars.' In the book library, you'd see John Grisham and Sidney Sheldon. And if you look in my fridge, it's, like, children's food - chips, milkshakes, yogurt.

I look at him [son Eric] and I think of my dad all the time.... I was born to be a dad.
Simon Cowell
My dad said to me, 'Work hard and be patient.' It was the best advice he ever gave me. You have to put the hours in.
Simon Cowell
You have to be original. The people creating a buzz on YouTube are taking risks, and they're doing something different. I like it when 15 year-olds come on and tell me what to do rather than the other way around.
Simon Cowell
The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner. The process makes you mean because you get frustrated.
Simon Cowell
When I was young and we got caught pinching apples, we got a smack from the local policeman. Today if that happened he would be sued. There is a tendency to punish the victim, not the criminal. If someone broke into my house or my mum's house, I worry that the burglar has more rights than me.
Simon Cowell
What luxury would I take to a desert island? A mirror. It's true. I'd miss me.
Simon Cowell
I suggest we bring some normality back to this country and say if you are carrying a knife, there must be zero tolerance. If it was up to me, everyone caught with a knife would get an automatic ten year sentence.
Simon Cowell
If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.
Simon Cowell
I think that by ignoring the show you're ignoring the audience who put you there.
Simon Cowell
You know what the secret to weight loss is? Don't eat much.
Simon Cowell
The artists who endure are the ones who stay focused even after they have reached the top of their profession.
Simon Cowell
People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.
Simon Cowell
Maybe I am a bit mad.
Simon Cowell
Not everybody is perfect, and I don't think we should be looking for perfect people.
Simon Cowell
I've had Botox, but then again pretty much everyone I know has. To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works. You do it once a year - who cares?
Simon Cowell
I break up very well. I am a good breaker-upper.
Simon Cowell
I like to know why a video has suddenly gone viral, why a song has broken, why a TV show is suddenly rating out of pattern... I'm pretty good at understanding why things are becoming popular.
Simon Cowell
Talking to celebrities is too much effort. They all think the same.
Simon Cowell
I do a couple of hundred press-ups a day but I haven't been to a gym in years.
